TikToker shares grandma's 50p hack to keep clothes smelling fresh 'for 20 years'

A woman has shared her grandma's easy hack for keeping clothes smelling fresh in drawers - and it works for "15 to 20 years". There's no need for expensive washing power - the simple trick costs as little as 50p.

She took to social media to share the tip with others after being told about it by her grandma and trying it out herself. Tik Tok user Julia posted a video under her username @_boringbb_ explaining that she had noticed something unexpected while looking through her grandma's clothing collection.

When she asked why there was a wrapped bar of soap in every drawer, her grandma said they keep her garments fresh, reported The Mirror. The video, which can be viewed below, has more than 623,000 views and hundreds of shares as TikTokers praised the idea.
